How many locals are on Airbnb?

THE NEW ECONOMY TRAINING FOR TERRY

Dozens in Tri-City aiming to take in some extra cashGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Need a place to stay for a night or two in the Tri-Cities?

How about a nice clean suite with a pool and hot tub in Coquitlam’s City Centre for $57 per night?

Or a spacious 1,000 sq. ft. suite with access to a small private putting green in Ranch Park for $80 per night?

These places and more are available through popular ac-commodation rental website Airbnb — but there’s a catch: They may not be legal.

“If they are operating a

licensed bed and breakfast, that would be fine,” said Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s direc-tor of development services. “If they weren’t, they would be running afoul of the zon-ing bylaw.”

In Coquitlam, licences are required for anyone operat-ing a bed and breakfast and regulations stipulate that the home in question must also be occupied by an owner and cannot be used solely for va-cation rentals in a residential area. As well, many strata complexes’ bylaws do not allow short-term rentals.

That means full apartment rentals, of which a handful are listed on the Airbnb web-site, contravene municipal bylaws.

Lots of buzz at this Tri-City bizTHE ENVIRONMENT

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

On a blustery Monday morning, Shaun Ashworth traded his suit jacket for a bee-keeping suit and stepped into a fenced enclosure to help his brother, Jay Ashworth, pour

32,000 honey bees into spe-cially made homes in the park-ing lot of Associated Labels and Packaging.

As the president of the Coquitlam company, Shaun is decidedly more at home in an office than an apiary but is keen to support the beekeep-

ing venture proposed by Jay, the company’s marketing and sustainability manager.

“Our company is focused on sustainability, awareness, cre-ating less of a carbon footprint and contributing less trash to the landfill,” Shaun said. “Even if he wasn’t my brother I prob-

ably would have said yes.”As Jay completed a beekeep-

ing course, Shaun had a fenced enclosure built at the rear of the property, where it backs on to a greenbelt that joins up with the Fraser Mills site.

SD43 budget time – your time to speak upSCHOOL DISTRICT 43 BUDGET

Province says it will give an extra $52 per student DIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

After years of turmoil and budget cutting, School District 43 is finally on an even keel when it comes to finances, having paid down most of its debt and weathered two years of layoffs and cost cutting.

Now, it’s time to start re-building, says Coquitlam Teachers’ Association presi-dent Charley King, and he’s hoping the public will pay attention to next Tuesday’s budget meeting and not let up on demands for improvements to education funding.

“It’s so easy for underfund-ing to become the new normal. [You have to show up] to hear

those stories and be reminded of what’s happening out there,” he said of the district’s three-week series of budget meet-ings, which kick off April 12 at Winslow Centre.

THE BACKGROUNDNot long ago, the district

was facing a $10-million deficit blamed largely on inaccurate projections but both teach-ers and the district pointed to

chronic underfunding as prob-lems, too.

To stem the bleeding, as many 165 FTE teaching posi-tions were cut, entire depart-ments were reorganized or chopped, middle school cafeterias were closed and bus service was cancelled.

In the three years since, classrooms are larger and

teachers are seeing more stu-dents with special needs and greater numbers of English language learners as a pro-portion of students — and all while resources have stayed roughly stagnant.

During last year’s budget meetings, for example, trustees were told about longer waiting lists for speech and language

services and psychological as-sessments, and heard stories of how school library hours were cut and fewer books were taken out.

A BETTER FOOTINGThings improved this year.

International education reve-nues from fees foreign students pay added $2.1 million to the bottom line and 300 more stu-dents arrived than expected, boosting provincial funding.

Compared to other districts where schools have to be closed to pay the bills, SD43 is in a much better position than it has been in the past. Still, there’s no windfall waiting in the wings to run schools in 2016/’17.

Some new money — about $52 per student — is coming from the province to cover labour agreements and other costs. That would be the equiv-alent of about $1.5 million for SD43 based on approximately

33,000 students. Still, the dis-trict has to find $2.9 million to cover administrative savings required by the province and pay off the remaining $2.8 mil-lion in debt. It’s also expecting to see about 174 fewer students in September 2016 than last September.

But with most of the dis-trict’s financial problems be-hind it, King hopes this year’s budget will provide some relief.

“What I think the public should be paying attention to is whether or not the board starts adding back services,” he told The Tri-City News.

“In the municipal elections, most ran on a platform of grad-ually restoring services,” King said, adding that the budget meetings will be a good primer for getting up to speed on education in anticipation of the provincial election in May 2017.

New Centennial just one of district’s projectsSCHOOL DISTRICT 43 BUILDING

Name needed for planned school on Burke MountainDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

A striking-looking build-ing with lots of windows, red cladding and a round silver silo for high school fine arts programming is rising next to Centennial secondary school, and by fall it will be home to approximately 1,300 students.

It’s one of three projects under construction — or soon to be — in School District 43 to replace older buildings under the province’s seismic mitiga-tion program. Another, a new school for Burke Mountain, in the works to accommodate stu-dents moving to the community.

Of the four, Centennial, a $50-million project, is the fur-thest along, with contractors working quickly to get every-thing in place for opening day.

“It’s going to be tight to get everything completed for a September opening,” said Ivano Cecchini, SD43’s as-sistant secretary-treasurer for facilities and planning services, who said the interior work is well underway while the outside cladding is still being worked on.

When it’s complete, the

12,200 sq. m school will have classrooms with flexible learning spaces for student and teacher collaboration, a library next to an amphitheatre that can be used for band and choir concerts and outdoor learning, as well as a teaching kitchen, shops for metal work, automotive and car-pentry, and a 220-seat theatre.

The project is being built in

two stages, with a neighbour-hood learning centre built after students have moved in and the old building is torn down. One of the existing gyms, how-ever, will be retained.

Cecchini could not confirm what agencies will locate in the neighbourhood learning cen-tre, noting that negotiations are still ongoing.

Other SD43 construction news:

MOODY MIDDLEMost of the excavation

work for the $24-million Port Moody replacement school — which is to be a school with an arts focus — is complete and about half of the concrete is in place. The project is on track

for the winter of 2017.

BANTING MIDDLESD43 is seeking building

permits for the project. The plan is to begin partial demoli-tion of the existing Banting building to make way for the $22.5-million school this sum-mer. Work is also required to do power separation between Banting and nearby Miller Park elementary this summer with construction to begin on the new building this fall.

SMILING CREEKHouses on the Burke

Mountain property that will be the school site have been demolished and building permit applications have been submitted. The district already has pre-qualified contractors

that will be able to bid on the project when it goes to tender. Environmental setback and other details for the $20-mil-lion school are being worked on, too, Cecchini said.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?Smiling Creek elementary

may be the unofficial name of the long-awaited Burke Mountain school, but it’s not the official name. In fact, a name has yet to be chosen and the public can have a say. As many as 12 names have been submitted so far but more are welcome, with the board of education making the final selection. Email your ideas by April 21 to [email protected]

[email protected]@dstrandbergTC

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWSThe replacement for Centennial secondary school is under construction and is supposed to be ready for occupancy in September.

In the before picture you can see the herniated disc (black)protruding into the spinal column (white, center of MRI). Afterdecompression treatment, the MRI shows the herniated disc is nolonger bulging into the spinal cord.

Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suf-fer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spineand back problems result from an auto accident, injury,or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discsare often misunderstood and improperly treated.

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Painto Heal... Without Drugs or SurgeryDecompression relieves pressure that builds up onthe discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comesabout as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herni-ated disc back into place. Decompression achieves thisby creating negative pressure within the disc, referred toas negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentiallya vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc mate-rial back into the disc space and relieves pressure. Thisprocess of non-surgical decompression allows the bodyto heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatmentoptions available at the Spinal Decompression Institute.

March marked big numbers for real estate in Tri-Cities

REAL ESTATE

Tri-City house prices were up in March and so were salesGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Another month, another in-crease in housing prices in the Tri-Cities.

But rising prices have not slowed down buyers, accord-ing to Dan Morrison, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, who said March was the busiest month on record.

“Today’s demand is broad based,” he said in a press re-lease. “Home buyers are active in neighbourhoods across our region.”

“Strong job and economic growth in our province, posi-tive net migration and low in-terest rates are helping to drive this activity,” Morrison said.

Across Metro Vancouver, the number of residential property sales shot up dramati-cally in March, with a record 5,173 transactions — a 27.4% increase compared to the same month last year and 24% climb from February.

In the Tri-Cities, Coquitlam’s transaction numbers climbed from 303 to 434 (43.3%) from the same time last year while Port Coquitlam’s number rose from 138 to 218 (58%) and Port Moody’s climbed from 76 to 126 (66%).

The increased sales activ-ity had corresponding price increases.

The benchmark value for a single-family detached home in Coquitlam is now $1,046,100, a 3.9% rise in the last 30 days and a 29.7% increase from this time last year. A detached home in Port Coquitlam is now $804,900, up 32.2% in the last year

while Port Moody’s is up 29% over the last 12 months at $1,210,800.

Townhouse prices rose in Coquitlam by 23.2% in the last year to a benchmark average of $480,000 while PoCo’s num-bers rose 27.4% to $485,200 and Port Moody’s increased 20.3% to $521,700.

Apartment values have also jumped in the last 12 months. Currently, the average cost of a condo in Coquitlam is $313,800, up 19.8%, while PoCo’s num-bers have risen 16% to $265,200 and Port Moody’s have climbed 19.5% to $427,900.

1 HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN“Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severeneck pain...I tried every possible treatment...butalas, nothing worked. One day, I came acrossan ad for Laser light Therapy and even though Iwas sceptical I tried it out of desperation...I hadapproximately 18 treatments and no longer sufferneck pain – it is truly a miracle!”

2 NECK PAIN“I had chronic pain that would run the lengthof my left arm from my shoulder right to my�ngertips. It was painful enough that it wouldwake me up throughout the night, so I couldnot get a decent night sleep. After about 2-3weeks of laser light therapy on my neck, the paindisappeared and I was able to get a decent nightsleep.”

3 SHOULDER PAIN“I am ninety-�ve years of age and had beenexperiencing constant neck and shoulder pain forsome time. My family doctor could only recommendpain killers as the available treatment.

6 KNEE PAIN“For the last 5 or 6 years, I have been kept awakemany nights with pain in my left knee. I tried varioustreatments and oral supplements which turned out lessthan satisfactory.

Similar rules apply in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, where listings have increased significantly over the last year. A brief search of airbnb.com by The Tri-City News found 82 listings in Coquitlam, 34 in Port Moody, 17 in Port Coquitlam and three in Anmore — a total of 136.

The overall number is up from last year, according to Karen Sawatzky, a Simon Fraser University Urban Studies mas-ters student who is writing her thesis on Airbnb’s impact on the residential rental market. Her data shows that in January 2015, there were approximately 53 listings in Coquitlam while Port Moody was at 35 and PoCo 14 for a Tri-City total of 102.

While Coquitlam does not have the kinds of listing figures seen in other municipalities — for example, Vancouver had

more than 3,400 as of June 2015 — McIntyre said it is an issue that the city will have to get ahead of.

With the Evergreen Line beginning operations next year, he said, it is likely the number of residents looking to use Airbnb to make some extra money will not be falling.

It could mean re-thinking and updating regulations that have not changed in decades, McIntyre said, noting the issue is similar to the debate around the ride-hailing app Uber.

“Times are changing,” he said. “Do people want to have that freedom or flexibility? Now could be the time to have that debate.”

But until regulations change, many short-term rentals will re-main in violation of city bylaws.

PoCo, for example, has not issued a single bed and break-fast permit, which means the 17 listings currently on Airbnb

likely contravene municipal regulations.

“Enforcement of these provi-sions is complaint-driven,” said PoCo’s manager of bylaw ser-vices, Dan Scoones. “To date, the bylaw division has not re-ceived any complaints about il-legal transient accommodation uses. An inquiry or two, yes, but no actual complaints.”

And not all Airbnb listings are unlicensed.

In Port Moody, Robyn MacLeod, the manager of building, bylaws and licensing, said the city has issued many bed and breakfast licences to

residents who are likely adver-tising on Airbnb.

“Airbnb is just a website,” she said. “Whether it is operated as a bed and breakfast or a com-plete unit, Airbnb is just an-other website to advertise your listings. It’s like Craigslist.”

But there are some dif-ferences between sites like Craigslist and VRBO, according to Sawatzky.

She notes that Airbnb has made posting a listing easier and has gone to lengths to train hosts how to serve their customers better. Perhaps more importantly, the company has

brought rural short-term vaca-tion rentals to the urban envi-ronment, she said.

“Airbnb started out as more of a ‘share my living room’ sort of thing,” Sawatzky said. “Of course, it isn’t like that any-more. It has urbanized vacation rentals.”

Her research has found that the proliferation of Airbnb listings in Vancouver has had some unintended conse-quences, particularly in the res-idential rental markets. Some homeowners believe they can make more money with short-term rentals, she said, while

people looking for long-term housing have to compete with vacationers.

She added that if there are 133 listings on Airbnb in the Tri-Cities, that means there are fewer suites and accommoda-tions available for long-term residents, driving up the overall cost of housing.

“There is a fairly critical shortage of affordable housing and housing options,” she said. “Housing is so crucial. It is a necessity. Tourist accommoda-tions are not a life necessity.”

Friend aims to help family with teen’s funeral funding

COLE MARSH

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

An online fundraising site has been set up to help the family of Cole Marsh, a Terry Fox student who died last week after a fall in Lynn Canyon.

The GoFundMe page was cre-ated by Marsh’s friend, Jeremy Diffner, as a way of helping the 17-year-old’s parents with fu-neral costs and lost wages.

“I would like Cole to have the type of [celebration] he deserves, with your donations we could make this happen,”

Diffner wrote. He originally hoped to raise

$3,000 for the Marsh family but surpassed that within a day. After four days, the total had reached nearly $8,400.

“I am absolutely shocked by how well this has been work-ing out,” Diffner wrote in an update on the page. “Whether you have donated or shared this, thank you.”

Marsh was at Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver on March 28, the last day of spring break, when he climbed over the safety fence near the suspen-

sion bridge and jumped off. He clung to the rocks for about 30 minutes as rescuers tried to reach him but he let go and was swept into the water.

Rescuers have been the site daily but have not been able to safely enter the water to re-cover Marsh’s body. The RCMP helicopter and boat have also been patrolling Lynn Creek and Burrard Inlet.

PoCo may ask the province to crack down on foreign $

PORT COQUITLAM

City is looking at unsightly prem-ises issues as wellJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Coquitlam is set to put pressure on the pro-vincial government — and on vacant homeowners — to crack down on foreign investment in real estate.

Last week, PoCo’s smart growth committee recom-mended city council write a let-ter to Victoria to address hous-ing affordability and ownership, a topic raised last month by the committee chair, Coun. Brad West, in response to the amount of offshore money reportedly used to buy local real estate — and drive up housing prices.

According to a city report at last Thursday’s meeting, the number of PoCo properties owned by shell companies has doubled over the past year.

Still, despite skyrocketing housing costs in the Lower Mainland, city staff say there’s not much evidence to point the blame on overseas buyers: B.C.’s strong economy, low bank interest rates and good mortgage terms are also boost-ing demand, therefore making the area attractive.

West said the province needs to implement housing specula-tion taxes on foreign buyers,

a fee that’s already in place in big cities around the world. (Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson also floated the idea last year and the BC NDP is call-ing for a 2% tax through a series of private member’s bills.)

West admits the powers of local governments are limited on housing ownership but mu-nicipalities can still take action on the appearance of properties whose owners don’t live on them.

His committee is suggesting council step up its unsightly premises action by having bylaw enforcement monitor homes with absentee owners.

Residential lots left unkempt “become a real detriment to the neighbourhood,” West said, citing an example of a relative’s house in Burnaby where the grass of a neighbour’s yard was not mowed for years.

West is also calling on resi-dents and businesses to alert bylaw staff when they suspect a PoCo property is vacant. If it is found to be empty and is deemed unsightly, the city can force the owner to clean it up or city staff will clear it up and bill

the homeowner through the annual property tax bill.

West first raised the issue in The Tri-City News a month ago, saying he was willing to put his reputation on the line to voice his concerns about the amount of foreign wealth coming into the community.

At the time, West said he had recently attended an open house in PoCo where a 2,400 sq. ft. home was listed for $1.1 million. He said the realtor told him “in no uncertain terms” that it would sell within the week and at a much higher price due to demand from over-seas buyers.

West also said he’s con-cerned with some realtors openly promoting themselves to draw Asian interest to PoCo.

The controversial topic has fuelled plenty of discussion in B.C. over the past year, espe-cially as China’s stock market is in turmoil and its economy slows. Investors there are seek-ing better returns and seeing Lower Mainland real estate as a sure bet, experts say.

Fast-track for newliquor regs proposed for Port Coquitlam

POCO BOOZE RULES

Council gets first look Monday, with hearing to followJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Changes to Port Coquitlam’s liquor rules have been fast-tracked to city council.

And given the speed of the proposed city bylaw, it’s likely the regulations will be updated well before those in Coquitlam, which has been discussing the topic for some time.

Last week, PoCo’s smart growth committee voted to skip a public consultation for the liquor policy and, instead, push the amended bylaw directly to the next city council meeting, on April 11, for introduction.

“We’ve heard from people about this issue for quite some time now and the message from the community is we need to get on with the changes,” com-mittee chair Coun. Brad West told The Tri-City News Tuesday. “Going through an additional review would a waste of time.”

The hurry comes as mi-

crobreweries — especially in cities such as Port Moody and Vancouver — are gaining in popularity, drawing out-of-town guests and increasing economic spin-offs.

PoCo’s bylaw amendment would allow for microbrews to be located in light and general industrial zones but West said he would like council to con-sider commercial districts as well. “There have been some interesting ideas out there from industry representatives: Should we cluster them to create a district or do we want them spread out? It would be nice to see a couple in our downtown core, too.”

Currently, the city has one proposal for a microbrew, planned for the Dominion Triangle, but that application is on hold pending the city’s liquor regulation changes.

As well, city staff are rec-ommending council allow on-premises brewing at neigh-bourhood pubs; to permit sales of packaged liquor at farmers’ markets; and to expand the number of zones that allow UBrews and UVins (as well as cider and cooler making).

The liquor bylaw is expected to go to first reading at the April 25 city council meeting; if granted first reading, that would be followed by a public hearing.

The changes are a result of the provincial government’s revised Liquor Policy Review in 2013 that called for more flexibility for businesses to serve booze.

Tiff over booze talksCOQUITLAM BOOZE RULES

GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Proposed liquor regulation changes that have been under consideration by the city of Coquitlam for close to a year will go to a second public hear-ing later this month following a contentious council debate Monday.

The rule changes would allow for liquor manufacturing and the creation of craft brew-eries and distilleries in some in-dustrial and commercial zones. It would also permit liquor re-tailers to operate within grocery stores, providing they abided by certain separation distances.

The revised bylaw was unanimously moved from first reading to public hearing, but not before behind-the-scenes tensions spilled out into the open council meeting.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said she was disappointed with how the revisions were drafted, not-ing that council members took unofficial votes on each piece of the bylaw during a commit-tee meeting last month that she did not attend. She added that it appeared some council members had already made up their minds on the rules before they had gone to another public hearing.

“Actual details of the bylaw have been decided on by some kind of straw poll that I wasn’t present for,” she said, later add-ing, “We shouldn’t be cloak and

shadows around what we do.”The comments drew a

rebuke from Mayor Richard Stewart, who noted that the process was decided on by council members.

Following the first pub-lic hearing on the issue in February, which ended with council sending the bylaw back to committee, staff said they would go through the bylaw piece by piece to gauge what as-pects of the regulations council supported.

City manager Peter Steblin defended the process, saying Monday that unofficial votes “are not final decisions — they are expressions of intent… This is the process we felt had the greatest possibility of success.”

“I think the process actually worked quite well,” Stewart added.

The mayor also took issue with Zarrillo’s suggestion that council “did anything untow-

ard,” adding “I would suggest this not be something you be-rate your council colleagues on.”

“I am not berating anyone,” Zarrillo responded.

Several council members countered Zarrillo’s assertions that the drafting of the bylaw was not an open process.

Coun. Dennis Marsden said informal polls of council in committee were conducted during the drafting of the af-fordable housing strategy and that he was comfortable uti-lizing that framework for the liquor rules.

Coun. Terry O’Neill con-curred, noting that all of the dis-cussions were done in an open committee meeting that can be viewed on the city’s website.

“There are no shadows or subterfuge here,” O’Neill said. “I would like the public to be very confident that this process has been very open.”

There are several key dif-ferences between the revised bylaw and the document that was working its way through council in February.

First, the new rules would see the separation distances be-tween liquor stores and schools reduced from 300 m in the first draft to 150 m in the sec-ond. The revisions would also maintain the 300 m separation distances between individual liquor stores while creating a definition for wine stores.

Regulate, but tread lightlyTri-City residents

living in one of the most beautiful —

and most expensive areas — in the world are renting out rooms, apartments and suites through Airbnb. Why shouldn’t people use their property to generate some extra income?

Sure, doing so may remove some affordable rental stock but with hous-ing costs going through the roof in the Tri-Cities and the rest of Metro Vancouver, people need to do what they can to make ends meet. And Airbnb is also an easy way to get into the rental market for people not ready to com-mit to being a long-term landlord.

The argument for regu-lating Airbnb is a lot like the debate over secondary suites a few years ago. It turned out that basement suites were an important part of the housing market, like Airbnb might become in the future as the sharing economy grows.

And as with second-

ary suites, any regulatory emphasis must be placed on safety and effect on neighbours.

Currently, regulations and tax policy for inns, cottages and hotels of four units or more don’t apply to small-scale Airbnb ac-commodations. And even city bed-and-breakfast licensing doesn’t quite fit the bill because many Airbnb rentals are apart-ments, not suites in owner-occupied houses, leaving

this market segment flying a bit under the radar.

It makes sense for regu-lators to take a closer look at the industry.

If there is a case to be made for regulation, it is to perhaps differentiate between apartments pur-chased and rented solely to Airbnb and those rooms and suites rented out in owner-occupied houses. The Canada Revenue Agency will be looking out for the big operators

if they aren’t paying their fair share of tax while those who don’t meet Airbnb hospitality standards won’t get guests.

As for the typical Tri-City Airbnb operators, they are not likely to cut too much into the hospitality industry market because they don’t have the ame-nities. In fact, they could even make the region more attractive to younger holidayers, benefiting the local economy.

So, yes, cities should look more closely into Airbnb rentals and bring them into compliance for business licensing but let’s not create hassles where none are warranted.

TC LETTERSLong before smart phones& Google, 3D enthralled kids

EVOLVING EDUCATION

The Editor,Re. “Google takes Best kids

on VR field trips” (The Tri-City News, March 4).

Congratulations to Dr. Charles Best secondary school and teacher Sean O’Reilly, whom, it seems, goes the extra mile for his students, and to his students in Google’s 3D pilot project . I am impressed.

But the adage “nothing new under the sun” deserves some attention. Near the time of the 3D excitement at Best, I hap-pened to look at old photos taken at a museum. On display was a stereoscope with picture cards that allowed a viewer to experience worldly scenes in three dimensions. It was virtual reality before that term was coined.

News of this 3D use of smart phones motivated my look into the history of the stereo-scope.

In the early 1600s, men made drawings that alluded to the concept of the stereo-scope but lacked the means to

build it. The first stereoscope was created by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1833, before photographs were readily available. Drawings were used to create the 3D views in Wheatstone’s stereoscope. What a tedious process it must have been to draw the pairs

of views with slightly different perspectives.

The oldest known pho-tograph was made in 1825, according to a clipping from the Globe and Mail in 2002. Several years passed while photography evolved from new discovery to practical use,

thus it was the 1850s when stereoscopic photography made stereoscopes a practical reality. In 1859, Oliver Wendell Holmes invented the handheld stereoscopic viewer.

In the era before radio, mo-tion pictures, TV, computers and the internet, stereoscopes became immensely popular and a huge industry evolved to produce millions of post-card views that were eagerly purchased by owners of stereo-scopes. It was big business.

We never had a stereoscope in our house when I was a child but one of our neigh-bours had one with a great many viewing cards. I readily remember being enthralled by the reality of the three-dimen-sional scenes.

Now, the newest genera-tion enjoys the same sensa-tion with its smart phones. Downloading new views, for a fee, will become big business.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.Allan Liggins, Coquitlam

Battle of signs over trails along Coquitlam River

COQUITLAM

GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam has a message for whoever is clear-ing paths and building bridges in the forest around Coquitlam River Park: Leave trail building to the professionals.

Urban forestry and park ser-vices manager Lanny Englund told The Tri-City News the problems started last year and could have a negative impact on fish-bearing streams and environmentally sensitive areas in the park.

“We can’t have people mod-ifying parks and trails without consulting us,” he said. “We are open to talking about it but we have to be involved.”

Safety is a major concern, he said, noting that proper city trails meet stringent require-ments. The process is also nec-

essary to ensure that environ-mental degradation is limited and fish-bearing streams are protected.

Englund said a small creek bed near the river was bridged over by the trail builders and several trees were cut down in the process.

“They are pedestrian cross-ings over fish bearing streams,” he said.

Similar issues have cropped up at other parks in the past but Englund said that, for the moment, the Coquitlam River is the only area where staff have been dealing with un-sanctioned trails.

The city put up a sign in the area asking the trail builders to contact them. But when it did not receive a response, a new sign was posted at one of the trail heads noting that unsanc-tioned trail building and the

cutting of trees on city parks is prohibited.

Not everyone agrees with the city’s position on unsanctioned trails. A note was posted above the city’s sign on the weekend said the new pathways are well maintained and enjoyed by many park users. “These are not different than the [hun-dreds] of small trails all over our city,” said the anonymous note. “No live trees were cut. There is no good reason to remove these trails. Call the city to protest.”


The city of Coquitlam put up a sign warning amateur trail builders to stop their work along the Coquitlam River and one person responded with a sign of their own, saying there is no problem with the trails.

There are two wooden api-aries now, and plenty of room for expansion.

On Monday, a handful of the company’s 180 employees gathered to watch the installa-tion as Jay and Shaun emptied two long tubes, each packed with two pounds of bees — that’s 16,000 per tube — into each “house.”

The queen bee is installed in a cage to keep her — and the rest of the bees — from flying away, and the bees will likely have her released within a few days.

They’ll survive on pre-mixed sugar water until more flowers crop up in the area; Jay and his girlfriend, Sarah Rutherford, planted wildflower seeds in the area as future bee food. And by September, the honeycombs will be removed and the honey harvested and likely given away as gifts (labels for the jars shouldn’t be a problem).

Interested employees can be part of the action as Jay will be giving courses for anyone interested in learning about beekeeping.

“It’s been awesome for company culture,” he said, not-ing the project has generated

plenty of conversation among the staff.

Jay is also spearheading a community garden project at Associated Labels, with plans to turn disused parking lot plant beds into food-growing plots.

Meanwhile, Shaun is apply-ing environmentally friendly principles to the business with the creation of the first fully compostable, non-GMO stand-up pouch in North America.

“It was four years in devel-opment,” Shaun said. “It took a lot of time and money… but there’s enough garbage out there already going out to the landfill.”

In fact, of the 17 billion plas-tic stand-up pouches made in 2013, none were recyclable or compostable — a number that gave Shaun pause when he thought of the future he’d be leaving for his children.

“We’re trying to do our part with end-of-life packaging,” he said. “Even if this went into the trash, I know it will be gone. Maybe not within six months but definitely in a year.”

The packages, made of non-GMO corn starch and Forestry Stewardship Council-certified birch and eucalyptus pulp, with non-toxic ink, are being

used by the quinoa company Alter Eco. Testing has shown the packages disintegrate in about three to six months.

The only drawback is cost, with a price point of more than double that of a similar non-recyclable pouch.

Changing that will simply be another business challenge for Shaun that, fortunately for the slightly more squeamish of the Ashworth brothers, doesn’t involve handling bees.

Amphitheatre, 125th events get fed. funding

COQUITLAM

Two Coquitlam initiatives are getting a funding boost of more than $600,000 in grants courtesy of the federal govern-ment.

The Department of Canadian Heritage’s Legacy Fund will give the city $500,000 for the Town Centre Park Plaza — the amphitheatre being built next to Lafarge Lake — while $116,500 will go toward supporting the city’s 125th an-niversary celebrations.

The new performance plaza is scheduled for completion in June and will be located on the eastern shore of Lafarge. According to the city, it will ac-commodate events of various sizes, with a seating capacity of 900 that can be increased to 1,300 for larger events.

Meanwhile, the 125th anni-versary is a year-long celebra-tion that will feature events like the Salmon Leave Home festival, the BC Highland

Games and Scottish Festival, and the Kaleidoscope festival. It will also feature a series of Neighbourhood Nights throughout the community.

For more information about the performance plaza, go to www.coquitlam.ca/parkproj-ects. For more information and list of the city’s 125th cel-ebration events, go to www.coquitlam125.ca.

Kids, want a taste of being a cop?

COQUITLAM RCMP

Junior Mountie Academy accept-ing applications

If your kids like playing cops and robbers — or, at least, cops — Coquitlam RCMP may have a fun summer camp for them.

Applications are being ac-cepted for the sixth annual Coquitlam Junior Mountie Police Academy, which will run in August and is offered for free to children in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Anmore, Belcarra and Kwikwetlem First Nation.

“The kids are shown what it’s like to walk in the footsteps

of a police officer,” academy organizer Nicole Cairns said in a press release.

Children nine to 12 years of age (before Aug. 1) can apply to be cadets while those 13 to 15 years (also before Aug. 1) can apply to be corporals. The latter applicants must have successfully completed the Coquitlam Junior Mountie Police Academy previously and must submit a hand-written, 200-word essay explaining “why I would be a good leader” with their application.

Applications are available at the Coquitlam RCMP main de-tachment (2986 Guildford Way, Coquitlam V3B 7Y5), or any of the community police stations

in Coquitlam and PoCo. The completed and signed applica-tion must be received no later than Friday, May 20 at one of these locations or emailed to [email protected]. Children who have been accepted will be notified by phone.

The academy will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon daily Aug. 8 to 12 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

If you have any questions about the 2016 Coquitlam RCMP Junior Mountie Police Academy, email [email protected] or visit the main RCMP detach-ment of one of the community police stations.

Cycle of Life squad fundraising goal is $10,000SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

With just under a month to go before Wheel 2 Heal, Russ

and Amanda Loader are hast-ily scheduling some tandem training rides and firing up their fundraising efforts for the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.

Neither should be a problem for the already active father-daughter duo; it will be the third W2H event for Russ — who first participated about five years ago in the 40-km trail ride and is now gearing up for his second 100-km road ride in as many years — but a slightly new ex-perience for Amanda, who’s no slouch herself, having polished off several half marathons.

Still, “I’ve actually never been on a road bike,” she said outside her parents’ Port Moody home.

And while she’s a bit nervous about the 100-km ride that is fast approaching — Russ had to correct her initial three-hour estimate to closer to five hours, which came as a bit of a sur-prise — she’s eager to help her team, Cycle of Life, reach their $10,000 fundraising goal.

Both Amanda and Russ are in pharmaceutical sales and have sent out emails to friends, family members, col-leagues and clients with a pas-sionate plea to support Eagle Ridge Hospital and have so far brought in about $6,000.

“It’s our local hospital,” Amanda explained. “I’ve been there, my family and friends have been there. Without them, we’d have to go to Vancouver to be cared for.”

She remembers well an emergency trip to ERH for a badly broken arm, a cheer-leading accident at the age of 15. As well, more recently, she tells of visiting her aunt, who had been an avid triathlete, at the hospital; to help lift her

spirits, Amanda picked up long-distance running to share the experience with her.

Russ has several long-dis-tance rides to his credit and is keen to beat his 2015 fundrais-ing record of more than $7,000.

“I’ve been road riding for-ever, I’ve done a bunch of the [gran] fondos, so I figured why

not raise some money, send out a few emails and see what hap-pens, and everyone has been very kind.”

Father and daughter will be hitting the road over the next four weeks leading up to W2H on April 30, and Russ is confi-dent his daughter can make the switch from spin classes to road

warrior. “She’s young, she’s got young legs,” he laughed. “And hopefully it’ll be a nice day.”

ERHF executive director Charlene Giovanetti-King is hoping for much the same, par-ticularly since organizers will be testing a new route.

“The new route is really exciting, it’s crossing three bridges — the Port Mann, Golden Ears and Pitt River,” she said of the 100-km route. And for those aiming for a shorter ride, there is a 55-km route and two trail rides of 15

and 40 km to choose from.There are also fundraising

incentive prizes for participants who raise $250 or $500. The “heroes” who raise $1,000 or more by April 15 get to join an exclusive ride with two-time Tour de France yellow jersey wearer Jens Voigt on April 17.

Organizers are also beef-ing up the celebration plaza at Town Centre park, with en-tertainment, games, food and beverage area.

Giovanetti-King said they are “trending ahead” for the

number of registered riders and are on track to have 350 riders in the event, showing steady growth for the eighth annual W2H, and that’s good news for the hospital — on average, 70% of the hospital’s new equipment is purchased with funds raised by ERHF.

“The most important thing is our health,” she said. “And having the best services in our backyard, in our community, is equally important.”

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

A kindergarten student from Port Coquitlam is back home after clinching a top prize at the Vienna International Ballet Experience (VIBE).

Sophia Reid-Gantzert, a student at the Caulfield School of Dance in Port Moody, took first in her “mini” division for dancers under the age of seven, at the prestigious con-test last month in Austria.

The six-year-old girl was accompanied by her parents, René and Kerri-Ann, and her teacher Cori Caulfield, who choreographed her dance solo that was based on the Valkyrie myth and set to Richard Wagner’s composition Ride of the Valkyries.

Her father René Gantzert told The Tri-City News this week the dance required plenty of strength as it involved several jumps and leaps.

Gantzert said his daughter — the youngest of six chil-dren — was thrilled with the win. “She was very cute,” he recalled. “She curtsied to abso-lutely everyone including the janitor. She was very happy.”

Reid-Gantzert, who quali-fied for VIBE after submitting a video, was also one of 27 competitors asked by the inter-national jury to perform at the competition’s gala evening.

The night featured the Vienna State Opera Ballet with the Sommerakademie der Wiener Philharmonic Orchestra and was staged at the historic Volkstheatre, a fa-

cility built in 1889.A student at Meadowridge

School in Maple Ridge, Reid-Gantzert started dancing at Encore Dance Academy in PoCo at the age of two. She transferred to Caulfield in September 2014 and currently studies tap, jazz, musical the-atre and ballet.

Reid-Gantzert began dancing solo only this year. Recently, she won her category at the Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival; next up is the Surrey Festival of Dance and, this summer, a stint at a ballet academy in London, England.

As for her future, Gantzert said with a chuckle, “She’s six. She wants to be a ballerina and an archeologist all at once.”

Port Coquitlam will re-launch its Sound Lounge next week with a month-long line up that includes a mix of genres.

Sound Lounge per-formances start April 16 in the Gathering Place at Leigh Square Community Arts Village with Jack Garton and the Demon Squadron.

Named after Garton’s grandfather’s special ops flights squadron in the Second World War, the band blends rocka-billy and rock steady with country and cajun sounds.

Next up on the roster is Blue Moon Marquee on April 30. The blues band is made up of A.W. Cardinal on vocals and guitar and Jasmine Colette on vocals, bass and drums.

On May 14, John Welsh will entertain. He’s a musician who draws his influences from the likes of Ben Harper, Sam Roberts and Joel Plaskett, combining folk, surf rock, reggae and Latin music.

And finally, on May 28, David Beckingham — a founding member with Hey Ocean who releases his debut album, Just When the Light, on May 27 — will close the series.

All shows run from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery.

A Lions Bay artist who works in the film industry as a costume cutter returns to the Tri-Cities this month with a new abstract show.

Druh Ireland’s lat-est collection, which opens in Leigh Square Community Arts Village in Port Coquitlam tomorrow (Thursday), is titled Use Your Words — a rough take to remind people to use language rather than raw emotions to communicate.

Ireland’s oil paintings are considered statement pieces, offering glimpses and semi-conscious thoughts through clues and symbols.

A member of the North Shore Community Arts Council, Ireland last had a solo exhibit in the Tri-Cities at Place des Arts. Her 2014 show in Coquitlam was titled You Are Here.

• The opening recep-tion for Use Your Words is April 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery in the Gathering Place (beside PoCo city hall). Admission is free and snacks will be served. The exhibit runs until April 27.

CITY HALL SHOWArtists or community

groups wanting to show-case their cultural wares at Coquitlam city hall have until April 29 to apply.

Two display cases in the main foyer (3000 Guildford Way) are now available for items that promote Coquitlam’s cultural di-versity and have an educa-tional benefit.

The municipality is pro-moting its multicultural work in response to the number of immigrants.

Fiddler themes as germane today as half a century ago

MUSICAL THEATRE


A musical theatre classic that opens this week in New Westminster — and features Tri-City talent — tells a familiar tale after having premiered on Broadway more than half a century ago.

Fiddler on the Roof weaves the story of displaced people and their quest for a better life, a common theme today as Syrians flee their war-torn homeland to countries such as Canada.

“It’s so relevant given the refugee crisis going on,” said Coquitlam’s Erin Palm, who portrays Fruma-Sarah in the Royal City Musical Theatre (RCMT) production that goes into previews starting tomor-row (Thursday) at the Massey Theatre.

Fiddler is Palm’s first appear-ance in a RCMT show, which is being directed and choreo-graphed by Valerie Easton of Port Coquitlam. Easton tapped Palm for the role after working with her in the 2009 Arts Club Theatre production of The Thing About Men (ironically, Palm last auditioned for RCMT as a child for a chance to be cast in Fiddler).

Tri-City child actors Owen

Scott, Arta Nehahpan and Lucas Crandall are also fea-tured in the musical, with Warren Kimmel portraying the star Tevye.

But Palm said displacement isn’t the only theme running through Fiddler: Family also has a strong voice, especially from the female side.

Port Coquitlam’s Peter Stainton plays the rabbi in his fifth RCMT show. “It’s a fun little role,” the retired school teacher said. “He make hu-morous cameo appearances… as do many other characters but the rabbi is very high pro-file with the Jewish villagers.”

Like Palm, Stainton was also

handpicked by Easton to take on the role. He was on holidays when he got the call “and when Valerie Easton phones you, it’s very flattering,” he said.

Fiddler is based on a se-ries of stories by Sholem Aleichem, written between 1894 and 1914, called Tevye and his Daughters. It centres on the father and his attempts to keep his Jewish traditions in Imperial Russia in 1905. The original Broadway show opened in 1964 and was the first musical theatre run in history to pass the 3,000-per-formance mark, winning nine Tony Awards along the way.

Stainton said RCMT’s ver-sion is full of laughter and song with such memorable numbers as Matchmaker, Matchmaker, If I Were A Rich Man and Do You Love Me?

“It’s a high level of profes-sionalism that you rarely get anywhere else,” he said of the company. “It has a full orches-tra, wonderful costumes and a wonderful cast.”

Hagen takes a solo musical flight for her final concert

CLASSICAL MUSIC


Pianist Sarah Hagen has shared the Evergreen Cultural Centre stage with many world-class musicians over the past four years.

This season alone, her Musical Mornings series has seen the likes of soprano Anne Grimm, clarinetist Francois Houle, Marcus Takizawa on viola and Soren Bebe, a Copenhagen-based jazz pia-nist.

But for her closer next week, Hagen will take the spotlight alone.

It’s not by choice. Her guest entertainers, the

Bergmann Piano Duo, whom she met more than a decade ago at the Banff Centre, was forced to cancel last week.

As a result, Hagen had to compile a last-minute solo program — one in which she plans to base on the theme of birds and birdsong.

A work by Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of the most important French compos-ers and music theorists of the Baroque era, will be performed at her April 13 recital along with pieces by the Romantic composers Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann as well as

Vancouver’s own Jeffrey Ryan, the recipient of SOCAN’s 2014 Jan V. Matejcek New Classical Music Award for career achievement.

Speaking from Squamish last week, en route to a Whistler show that night with cellist Rebecca Wenham,

Hagen said she has enjoyed seeing her audience grow in Coquitlam.

“To me, that’s how I mea-sure success,” she said.

And Evergreen staff have been equally thrilled with the feedback.

When the series started

four years ago, the venue drew about 25 guests to the salon-style concerts on Wednesday mornings; now, the count is around 100 at each of her five events.

“We have partnered with Sarah for four seasons now and it has been a great boon to the Evergreen Cultural Centre,” performing arts manager David Mann said. “Outside of our highly successful New Year’s Eve collaboration with the Quiring Chamber Players, we had found it difficult to find a significant audience for clas-sical music programming at Evergreen.

“Musical Mornings opened the door by providing a proven formula for presenting high-quality soloists — and oc-casionally duos — in a format that is a bit more casual and audience friendly than the av-erage classical concert,” Mann said.

• Tickets for Sarah Hagen’s final show on April 13 are avail-able by calling the Evergreen Cultural Centre box office at 604-927-6555 or visiting ever-greenculturalcentre.ca. The event starts with coffee, tea and treats and is followed by a 75-minute concert.


COURTESY OF EVERGREENPianist Sarah Hagen concludes her season of Musical Mornings at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam, on Wednesday, April 13, with a solo show based on birds and birdsong. Call 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca for tickets.

Ravens soar in opener, Talons look for first win

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Ravens beat up on Port Moody with 67-5 victory GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The Terry Fox Ravens made a statement in their first senior boys rugby game of the season, taking down Port Moody sec-ondary 67-5 last week.

The Port Coquitlam squad wasted no time in getting on the board, building up a sub-stantial 50-0 lead by the half. Even with reserves sitting in for most of the second half, the team was still able to score an-other 17 points.

“It was a good start to the regular season for the boys,” said head coach Craig Geddes. “We showed a strong desire and work ethic. Hopefully we can build on this and continue to get better every week.”

Taylor Poitras and Isaac Evans each scored a pair of tries in the game, while Harrison Pride, Bryan Cortes, Michael Clarke, Jevon Lefebvre, Tavian Williams, Jimmy Thomas and Jude Hussain all picked up singles in the scoring barrage.

Sean Stewart had five con-

versions in the match. The club is gearing up for its

second bout of the season, a meeting with Dr. Charles Best secondary on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Gleneagle secondary Talons struggled in their first match of the season.

Despite a strong effort, the Coquitlam club came up short against provincially ranked Elgin Park, who defeated the Talons 29-12.

Gleneagle will try again on Thursday in a meeting wtih Earl Marriott. Meanwhile, Port Moody will take on Elgin Park the same day.

Cents start soccer season on winning footON THE PITCH

Kodiaks, Charles Best, also pick up wins in openers

It would have been easy for the Centennial Centaurs to feel discouraged following the first half of their regular season AAA girls’ high school soccer

opener against Riverside sec-ondary Monday night.

Despite carrying the play for the early part of the game, the score was 0-0 at the intermis-sion and the Cents seemed un-able net their first goal.

But patience prevailed when Centennial’s Maddy Weir broke thru with a solid left-footed strike at the 55 minute

mark to put the Coquitlam club up 1-0.

And then the flood gates opened.

Two minutes later, Catrina Olstrom netted her first of the game before following up six minutes later with her second to put Centennial up 3-0. She eventually completed the nat-ural hat trick to close out the

game with a 4-0 victory. Taylor Kim had two assists in

the match while Julia Kostecki had one and Alivia Ungaro earned the shutout in net.

Meanwhile over at Cunnings Field in Coquitlam, the Dr. Charles Best secondary Blue Devils were busy shutting out Gleneagle in a 2-0 bout.

Port Moody’s Heritage

Woods Kodiaks also got their regular season off to a strong start, defeating the Terry Fox Ravens 6-2.

High school AAA girls’ soccer action continues Wednesday night, with Centennial at Terry Fox, Gleneagle at Heritage Woods and Charles Best at Riverside secondary.

Poor comprehension in conversation canpossibly be caused by undetected hearingloss in the high-frequency range.�ismeansthe sensory cells in the cochlea that hearhigh-range sounds are damaged as a result ofcirculatorydisorders, diabetes, suddenhearingloss or workplace noise.

Speech comprehension is even morechallenging when there is background noiseorwhen televisionprogramshavebackgroundmusic. �e dilemma is that people withhearing loss in the high-frequency range donot consider themselves to have a hearingproblem. �ey can hear deep tones with no
